Yes. That’s the name. Black girl sunscreen.

Because all of your work for treating hyperpigmentation is pointless if you’re not wearing sunscreen.

I’ll make this a thread & add reasons why this is one of my favorites.

I first discovered @BlkGrlSunscreen in MARCH 2018 & my tweet was featured in a @POPSUGAR article.

Before any kind of affiliation. (That’s how you know it’s real)

Okay here’s the tea:

A lot of people are sensitive to sunscreens. It’s a trial & error situation — because you have to wear it.

Chemical sunscreens in particular people are sensitive too.

For this reason, a lot of people turn to mineral/physical sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide).

But. They’re. ASHY.

One of the most irritating ingredients in chemical sunscreens is oxybenzone. Another is fragrance.

This sunscreen has NEITHER. 🤪

So you decrease your chances of a bad reaction SIGNIFICANTLY.

If the sunscreen, doesn’t work for you, I’m sorry.

As I stated originally, it is a trail & error scenario we all have to go through.

However, a lot of my followers with sensitive skin said they were fine with this sunscreen! Especially it being oxybenzone & fragrance free 👍🏽

And FYI: Hot girl summer has continued into hot girl autumn.

Why? Because hot girls wear sunscreen. All. Year. Long.

The sun doesn’t go away & UV rays penetrate through clouds.

The recommend amount of SPF is 30-50!
